AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
You're getting a birthday bolt of fabulosity in which anything could happen � and you�ll make sure that it will. Thrive on the attention, but take a little time out to charge your batteries. Let yourself be surprised ... really surprised.

PISCES Feb 19-Mar 19
Working behind the scenes, especially in a charitable effort, should serve to your advantage � socially, politically and emotionally. The political connections will be the most obvious, but there will be more surprising benefits.

ARIES Mar 20-Apr 19
Friends who seem relentless in urging you on may sound naggy but are actually doing you a favor. You�re capable of more than you realize, though your friends can see it. Going it alone would weaken you. Let them help you and you�ll go far.

TAURUS Apr 20-May 20
Question authority, but pay attention to what those in power say. Expert advice needs some expansion and clarification, and asking for that will prove advantageous. Asking questions doesn�t make you look foolish, but not asking them when you should will.

GEMINI May 21-Jun 20
You�re itching to engage in a power struggle. Playing it out in the bedroom can release that energy so your uppity impulses don�t make trouble for you at work. Or focus and harness that energy more deliberately at work, if you can!

CANCER Jun 21-Jul 22
Your mouth is running way ahead of your brain and your good sense. Try to stick to places where a lack of inhibition and tasteful restraint can work to your favor. Anywhere else, slow down and think about what you�re saying.

LEO Jul 23-Aug 22
Your partner (in life or in the moment) will offer some kinky new possibilities, expanding your erotic horizons. If your sweetie is drawing a blank in that department, start talking about tattoos and body art. Just discussing it should stimulate the imagination.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sep 22
New approaches to procedures at work can make your job more productive and enjoyable. You have some great ideas, but don�t be so insistent on always doing things your own way. Colleagues will offer surprising inspiration.

LIBRA Sep 23-Oct 22
A new approach to your favorite sport or hobby can make it a lot more fun and/or creative. Ask yourself how mom or granny would approach it, whether you choose to follow that example or take a diametrically opposite approach.

SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
If you can manage to have some fun with your family, you�ll be amazed at what secrets will be revealed in the process. Stand your ground gently in arguments, agreeing to disagree and even more dishy information will come out.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 20
Insisting that you�re right only exposes more glaringly where you�re wrong. Try to keep an open mind and remember what basic principles are really important. Adapt with new conditions and new ideas to keep up and discard what doesn�t work.

CAPRICORN Dec 21-Jan 19
Adaptability is not only an enduring value, it is one of your sign�s best attributes. New ideas that seem to be an affront to your sensibilities can prove very helpful in the long run, and will eventually affirm the values they seem to attack.

THIS WEEK

As Mercury lines up with the sun in Aquarius, everyone is a bit more know-it-all and too-clever for his or her own good. Try to be adaptive, open-minded and a good listener, and you will be much smarter � however discreetly � than the people voicing their grand ideas.
